Sindh getting 50pc less water as against last year’s supplies

Mohammad Hussain KhanUpdated May 21, 2018
HYDERABAD: Sindh is getting 50pc less water than what it received during the corresponding period last year at Guddu barrage upstream, the first barrage on Indus after the river enters the province, dealing a serious blow to cultivation of Kharif season crops of rice and cotton.
All right bank non-perennial canals of three barrages are now to getting water for crops but due to acute water scarcity, irrigation authorities could release water into the canals only for drinking purposes.
Non-perennial canals of Guddu and Sukkur barrages were to be provided water for Kharif from May 15 but given available flows, irrigation authorities would only provide water to Sukkur barrage’s right bank canals of North Western, Dadu and Rice canals and Guddu’s Begari Feeder.
As per Water Apportionment Accord 1991 Guddu barrage is having 67pc less water, Sukkur 42pc and Kotri 66pc less.
Acute water shortage deals serious blow to cultivation of Kharif crops
Sukkur barrage’s left bank canals of Nara and Rohri are getting somewhat better water flows and Kotri barrage’s Kalri Baghar (KB) feeder is receiving reasonable flows for meeting Karachi’s water needs. KB feeder feeds Keenjhar lake from where Karachi gets water.
On May 18 last year Guddu barrage received 72,286 cusecs against 38,620 cusecs the same day this year. Canals’ withdrawal figures of Guddu barrage show it is getting 67pc less water than its allocated share and likewise Sukkur barrage is getting 49.8pc less water as compared to its allocation for May.
“Last year in May the situation was much better. And this trend of shortage this year is likely to continue over the days to come,” said an irrigation official.
Kotri barrage is the most affected as it bears 66pc water shortage in its four canals, three on left and one on right side, currently.
“We are mainly releasing water for drinking purposes in four canals of Kotri barrage,” said newly appointed Kotri barrage chief engineer Shafqat Wadhu.
He said that level of Keenjhar lake whose designed discharge was 9,000 cusecs had improved over the last few days and now it was being provided around 2,100 cusecs to meet drinking water needs.
Share of non-perennial canals of Guddu and Sukkur barrages gets due on May 15. Begari Feeder is still closed. However, its left bank canal — Ghotki Feeder — which is to get 6,000 cusecs, is being provided 2,000 cusecs only.
Similarly, Sukkur barrage’s right bank canals — North Western, Rice and Dadu — are getting 1400 cusecs, 400 cusecs and 1150 cusecs against allocation of 6000, 4000 and 5000 cusecs, respectively.
“Indus River System Authority’s advisory committee had earlier predicted 31pc shortage in Kharif but it was revised to 42pc. We believe that we will be having 50pc shortage of water at the end of the day in view of present water flows,” said an irrigation official.
The persistent water shortage has badly affected cotton sowing in Sindh as only 22 per cent area has been brought under cultivation so far against a target of 620,000 hectares. Last year’s cotton sowing target was 650,000 hectares.
Sindh Chamber of Agriculture general secretary Zahid Bhurgari claimed that only 35pc cotton was sown in lower Sindh areas and that too with the help of tube-wells.

PhilRice: Tech will lessen Train’s impact on farmers

BY EIREENE JAIREE GOMEZ ON MAY 21, 2018BUSINESS
THERE are technologies in place to lessen the impact of Republic Act 10963, or the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (Train) Act, on Filipino rice farmers, which saw their income reduced after its implementation, the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) said.
According to the agency, Train-imposed excise taxes on fuel caused the decrease.
“Train increased the production cost of pump-dependent farmers by 50 centavos for every kilogram of palay (unhusked rice) produced, which diminished their income by 10 percent,” PhilRice said.
Since Train’s implementation, fuel cost—which accounts for 30 percent of production cost—has risen by P2,014 per hectare, it added.

PhilRice data show that farmers’ current fuel cost is P15,876 per ha., a 14.5-percent increase from the pre-Train P13,862 per ha.
A typical farmer uses 397 liters of fuel per ha., from land preparation until harvesting, while “mechanized” farmers consume 413 l/ ha. This results in a difference of 16 l/ha, adding between P600 and P1,000 to the cost.
To offset the increase, PhilRice Executive Director Sailila E. Abdula said yield-enhancing technologies, including machines, water management, and rice varieties, were available for farmers to use.
One is the combine harvester, which Abdula said gets the farmers “an additional net income of P6,000, which comes from the savings [they]obtained from the reduced labor cost in harvesting, threshing, and using sacks and twine.”
Another is the so-called four-in-one machine, from which farmers earn P3,527 more, as it reduces postharvest losses from manual harvesting, axial-flow threshing, and piling.
To further save on fuel, PhilRice is also promoting rice hull, a farm waste common in rural communities, in powering water pumps; and water pump gasifier, which burns rice hull as fuel. These will give farmers irrigation savings of 30 percent to 40 percent every season.
Alternate wetting and drying technology, or irrigating fields a few days after the water level has dropped to about 15 centimeters below the soil’s surface, is another pratice that gives 16 percent-to-35 percent savings without decreasing yield.
Meanwhile, farmer Rolando San Gabriel of the Science City of Muñoz, Nueva Ecija province advised growers to plant high-yielding rice varieties to cope with Train’s impact.
“We cannot control the prices, but we are in control of our farming practices,” San Gabriel said.
“We must have a target yield per cropping season and see how we can cut down on the cost. We can start with our choice of rice varieties,” he added.
“I will still farm despite the cost adjustments. With the right strategies, farmers can survive Train,” the farmer said.

Farmers affected by TRAIN law told to tap technology

The Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) said farmers can turn to technological innovations to cope with the increase in production cost due to the implementation of the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) law.
PhilRice Executive Director Sailila E. Abdula said yield-enhancing technologies, such as machines, water management and seed varieties, are easily available to rice growers to help offset the P0.50 hike in the production cost of pump-dependent farmers.
The TRAIN law directly affected farmers due to its provision on higher specific tax on petroleum products, which was last increased in 1997, the PhilRice said in a statement.
Data from the PhilRice showed that a typical farmer uses 397 liters per hectare of fuel from land preparation until harvesting while the more mechanized farmer consumes 413 l/ha. Abdula said the increase in cost can be offset by using the combine harvester alone.
“By using combine harvester, farmer gets an additional net income of P6,000, which came from the savings he obtained from reduced labor cost in harvesting, threshing, and using sacks and twine,” Adbula added.
The PhilRice chief also said farmers earn P3,527 more from the 4-in-1 machine, as it reduces postharvest losses from manual harvesting, axial-flow threshing and piling.
To further save on fuel,
PhilRice promotes the use of rice hull, a common farm waste in rural communities, in powering up water pump.  Rice hull gasifier pump system, a water pump gasifier that burns rice hull as fuel, can help farmers save 30 percent to 40 percent on irrigation cost per season.
Alternate wetting and drying technology, or irrigating the field few days after water level has dropped to about 15 centimeters below the surface of the soil, is also an easy farm practice which can result in savings of up to 35 percent in irrigation cost without cutting yield.
Farmer Rolando San Gabriel of Maligaya, Science City of Muñoz, Nueva Ecija said in a statement that his fellow crop growers can cope with the TRAIN law by planting rice varieties that yield more harvest.
“We cannot control the prices, but we are in control of our farming practices. We must have a target yield per cropping season and see how we can cut down on the cost. We can start with our choice of rice varieties,” San Gabriel said.
San Gabriel added he planted NSIC Rc402, which has a maximum yield of 14 tons per hectare and matures in 114 days. High-yielding varieties that can produce an additional yield of 105 kilograms per hectare are available in PhilRice stations and seed centers.
San Gabriel said he will reduce his operational costs come planting season through dry plowing during land preparation and implementing just two of the usual three harrowing. He added he will also reduce his nitrogen application.
“I will still farm despite cost adjustments. With right strategies, farmers can survive the TRAIN law,” he said.

State subsidies accelerate in Q1

May 20, 2018, 10:00 PM
By Chino S. Leyco
State subsidies to government-owned and -controlled corporations (GOCCs) in the first quarter amounted to P45.29 billion, more than double the first three months in 2017, owing to health insurance benefits for indigent Filipinos, irrigation program, and the jeepney modernization project.Data from the Bureau of the Treasury showed that government subsidies to state-run companies amounted to P45.29 billion in January to March this year, up by 130 percent compared with P19.66 billion in the same period last year.
Of the total subsidies, about 33.46 percent went to the Philippine Health Insurance Corp., commonly known as PhilHealth, which is equivalent to P15.2 billion.
PhilHealth, which is mandated to provide adequate and affordable social health insurance coverage for all Filipinos, receives regular financial aid from the government to settle the insurance premiums for indigent individuals identified by the Department of Social Welfare and Development.
Another recipient of government financial support was the Land Bank of the Philippines, which received P12.3 billion in the first quarter, or 27.16 percent of the total subsidy disbursements of the treasury bureau.
The subsidy given to Land Bank will be used to fund the lender’s credit facility for a program that will help drivers and operators replace all 15 years old and above public utility jeepneys (PUJs) with modern public transport.
Meanwhile, the National Irrigation Administration cornered 18.41 percent of the total subsidies at end-March, amounting to P8.34 billion.
The monetary aid given to NIA will be used to fund the government’s free irrigation program.
In January last year, President Rodrigo R. Duterte stopped the NIA, an agency responsible for irrigation development in the country, from collecting the Irrigation Service Fee (ISF) from farmers.
Aside from the three GOCCs, the government also gave subsidies to the National Food Authority with P1.8 billion, National Development Co. with P1.5 billion, Power Sector Assets & Liabilities Management Corp. with P1.48 billion and Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority with P1.45 billion.
The National Electrification Administration (P653 million), Social Housing Finance Corp. (P612 million), Small Business Corp. (P442 million), National Power Corp. (P224 million), and the Philippine Children Medical Center (P222 million) also received finance support from the Treasury.
Other GOCCs include the Philippine Heart Center (P232 million), Philippine Rice Research Institute (P185 million), National Kidney and Transplant Institute (P147 million and the Cultural Center of the Philippines (P105 million).
In the first quarter, the Treasury also gave subsidies to the Light Rail Transit Authority, National Housing Authority, Aurora Pacific Economic Zone and Freeport, Bases Conversion and Development Authority, and Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions.
Also included in the list were Lung Center of the Philippines, Philippine Coconut Authority, Philippine Fisheries Development Authority, Philippine Institute for Development Studies, and Philippine Institute of Traditional and Alternative Health Care.
Lastly, People’s Television Network, Inc., Southern Philippines Development Authority, and Zamboanga City Special Economic Zone Authority received subsidies from the national government in the first quarter of the year.
For 2018, the national government earmarked a record P162.55 billion in financial aid for GOCCs and government financial institutions (GFIs), up by 24 percent compared with the projected P131.09-billion disbursements last year.
Palawan to produce hybrid seeds
Louise Maureen Simeon (The Philippine Star) - May 21, 2018 - 12:00am
Public hybrid rice will soon be available for Palawan farmers following a recent intensive training attended by the province’s agricultural workers.
Andy G. Zapata Jr./File
MANILA, Philippines — The province of Palawan is gearing up for the production of hybrid rice seeds in a bid to improve output in the area.Public hybrid rice will soon be available for Palawan farmers following a recent intensive training attended by the province’s agricultural workers.
Rice program project officer Marlon Montero said hybrid rice seeds in Palawan are being sourced from regions particularly Davao.
“There is a risk in procuring the seeds away from Palawan knowing that this can negatively affect the germination rate. With our current efforts, we may no longer need to buy seeds from other regions in the coming years,” he added.
Palawan targets to expand up to 1000 hectares of public hybrid rice production in the next planting seasons.
It is now conducting training for 40 agricultural extension workers and project implementers on hybrid seed production focusing on field and crop establishment and seed technology.
The Department of Agriculture-Philippine Rice Research Institute said the training aims to ensure the high purity of seeds to be produced and that best management practices are adopted to achieve the highest potential yield of hybrid.
Public hybrid variety Mestizo 1 has an average yield of 5.4 metric tons per hectare up to 9.9 MT/ha and is highly recommended nationwide for its good eating quality and aroma.
Another variety Mestizo 20 can thrive in the most climatic types in the country and can yield from 6.4 MT/ha to 11.7 MT/ha.
The series of training is in support to the provincial government’s rice program, which provides hybrid seeds and farm inputs to about 400 farmer beneficiaries.
Refresher courses on seed quality assessment, seed certification, laboratory and field requirements and procedures were also discussed to seed inspectors.

Rice farmers observing best growing season in years

 May 18, 2018 4:38 AM PSTUpdated: May 18, 2018 4:43 AM PST
By Josh Meny

CROWLEY, La. -
The hot and dry conditions are affecting this year's rice crop.
In the last three years, frequent, extreme rainfall has put a dent in rice production. 
"We had several hundred acres last year that was lost. And, we lost a lot of rice two years ago from flooding condition when it was actually in the middle of harvest," explained LSU Extension Rice Research Center Specialist for La Dr. Dustin Harrell.
Because of the colder weather this year, rice crops in Acadiana were staying dormant. Most recently, the weather changed very quickly from winter to summer. 
"It's probably the best rice I have seen in many years. And, the low 90's and upward 80's during the day with low cloud cover and the cooler temperatures in the low seventies and uppers seventies is just perfect for growing rice. In fact, some of the best we've had in the last three years," explained Dr. Harrell. 
One of the negative sides of this weather is that rice farmers will have to pay higher energy bills for running their irrigation pumps more. 
"Old generations always said that in the years that we have to pump that will make better crops. We utilize the fertilizer better and we have less disease pressure," said Acadia Parish rice farmer Paul Zaunbrecher. 
Despite the sunny, dry weather forcing farmers to run their irrigation pumps longer, they say they'll save money if this year turns out to be sunny and warm. 
"If we're catching all these rains, a lot of times we're forced throw fertilizer into the water. When you throw fertilizer into the water, you decrease your efficiency in the plant taking up the fertilizer," said Zaunbrecher. 
While rice farmers acknowledge that some rain would be beneficial, they just want it in moderation

Feeding the Dragon: Prospects brighten for non-basmati rice exports

Millers told to reg­is­ter for fa­cil­ity in­spec­tion by Chi­nese au­thor­i­ties

VISH­WANATH KULKA­RNI
In a step towards fa­cil­i­tat­ing ex­ports of rice to China, the Union government has asked the millers to get reg­is­tered with the Di­rec­torate of Plant Pro­tec­tion, Quar­an­tine and Stor­age (DPPQ&S) un­der the Agri­cul­ture Min­istry, so that the reg­is­tered mills could be ap­proved by the Chi­nese au­thor­i­ties for ex­ports of the ce­real.

In­dia, the largest rice ex­porter, ships a mi­nus­cule quan­tity of the ce­real through other coun­tries to China, which im­ports as high as five mil­lion tonnes an­nu­ally mainly from Thai­land, Viet­nam and Pak­istan among other rice pro­duc­ers.

The In­dian ex­porters, find­ing it tough to crack the mar­kets in China, the largest im­porter of rice, have been seek­ing the government in­ter­ven­tion to fa­cil­i­tate ship­ments of the ce­real. The is­sue had fig­ured dur­ing the re­cent visit of Prime Min­is­ter Naren­dra Modi to China, sources said.

The Agri­cul­ture Min­istry is in the process of sign­ing up a pro­to­col with the Gen­eral Ad­min­is­tra­tion of Cus­toms of the Peo­ple’s Re­pub­lic of China in re­spect of ex­port of the In­dian rice — both bas­mati and non-bas­mati — to China. The pro­to­col is to en­sure that the rice ex­ported from In­dia meets the phyto-san­i­tary con­cerns of China, the Agri­cul­ture and Pro­cessed Food Ex­ports De­vel­op­ment Au­thor­ity (Apeda) said in a note on its web­site.

Boost­ing vol­umes
Wel­com­ing the government’s move, BV Kr­ishna Rao, Pres­i­dent, Rice Ex­porters As­so­ci­a­tion, said it was a step in the right di­rec­tion and could re­sult in higher vol­umes. “We have the po­ten­tial to ship at least two mil­lion tonnes rice worth $1 bil­lion to the Chi­nese mar­ket,” Rao said.
In­dia has emerged as the largest ex­porter of rice since 2011 on ris­ing do­mes­tic sup­plies through im­proved pro­duc­tiv­ity. As per the third ad­vance es­ti­mates, rice pro­duc­tion dur­ing 201718 is seen scal­ing a new high of 111.52 mil­lion tonnes (mt) against pre­vi­ous year’s 109.70 mt. Average ship­ments of non-bas­mati rice have hov­ered be­tween 6 and 8 mt and the premium bas­mati rice around 4 mt in re­cent years.

Though In­dian rice is ag­gres­sively priced, the Chi­nese have pre­ferred to buy the ce­real from Pak­istan, be­cause of the po­lit­i­cal con­sid­er­a­tions be­tween the neigh­bour­ing na­tions. The Modi government’s move to fa­cil­i­tate ship­ments should open up new mar­kets, while boost­ing the per unit re­al­i­sa­tion for the In­dian rice ex­ports.
Other mar­kets
Rao said the Cen­tre should also fa­cil­i­tate ex­ports of the non-bas­mati rice to coun­tries such as Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philip­pines, where the pri­vate play­ers are find­ing it dif­fi­cult to crack these mar­kets.
Bulk of In­dia’s non-bas­mati rice ship­ments are aimed at the African na­tions. In the fi­nan­cial year ended March 2018, In­dia’s rice ship­ments stood at a record 12.64 mt val­ued at ₹49,768 crore. Of this, the non-bas­mati vol­umes touched a record 8.63 mt val­ued at ₹22,927 crore, mainly on higher off­take by Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

Farmers affected by TRAIN law told to tap technology

The Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) said farmers can turn to technological innovations to cope with the increase in production cost due to the implementation of the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) law.
PhilRice Executive Director Sailila E. Abdula said yield-enhancing technologies, such as machines, water management and seed varieties, are easily available to rice growers to help offset the P0.50 hike in the production cost of pump-dependent farmers.
The TRAIN law directly affected farmers due to its provision on higher specific tax on petroleum products, which was last increased in 1997, the PhilRice said in a statement.
Data from the PhilRice showed that a typical farmer uses 397 liters per hectare of fuel from land preparation until harvesting while the more mechanized farmer consumes 413 l/ha. Abdula said the increase in cost can be offset by using the combine harvester alone.
“By using combine harvester, farmer gets an additional net income of P6,000, which came from the savings he obtained from reduced labor cost in harvesting, threshing, and using sacks and twine,” Adbula added.
The PhilRice chief also said farmers earn P3,527 more from the 4-in-1 machine, as it reduces postharvest losses from manual harvesting, axial-flow threshing and piling.
To further save on fuel,
PhilRice promotes the use of rice hull, a common farm waste in rural communities, in powering up water pump.  Rice hull gasifier pump system, a water pump gasifier that burns rice hull as fuel, can help farmers save 30 percent to 40 percent on irrigation cost per season.
Alternate wetting and drying technology, or irrigating the field few days after water level has dropped to about 15 centimeters below the surface of the soil, is also an easy farm practice which can result in savings of up to 35 percent in irrigation cost without cutting yield.
Farmer Rolando San Gabriel of Maligaya, Science City of Muñoz, Nueva Ecija said in a statement that his fellow crop growers can cope with the TRAIN law by planting rice varieties that yield more harvest.
“We cannot control the prices, but we are in control of our farming practices. We must have a target yield per cropping season and see how we can cut down on the cost. We can start with our choice of rice varieties,” San Gabriel said.
San Gabriel added he planted NSIC Rc402, which has a maximum yield of 14 tons per hectare and matures in 114 days. High-yielding varieties that can produce an additional yield of 105 kilograms per hectare are available in PhilRice stations and seed centers.
San Gabriel said he will reduce his operational costs come planting season through dry plowing during land preparation and implementing just two of the usual three harrowing. He added he will also reduce his nitrogen application.
“I will still farm despite cost adjustments. With right strategies, farmers can survive the TRAIN law,” he said.

State subsidies accelerate in Q1

May 20, 2018, 10:00 PM
By Chino S. Leyco
State subsidies to government-owned and -controlled corporations (GOCCs) in the first quarter amounted to P45.29 billion, more than double the first three months in 2017, owing to health insurance benefits for indigent Filipinos, irrigation program, and the jeepney modernization project.Data from the Bureau of the Treasury showed that government subsidies to state-run companies amounted to P45.29 billion in January to March this year, up by 130 percent compared with P19.66 billion in the same period last year.
Of the total subsidies, about 33.46 percent went to the Philippine Health Insurance Corp., commonly known as PhilHealth, which is equivalent to P15.2 billion.
PhilHealth, which is mandated to provide adequate and affordable social health insurance coverage for all Filipinos, receives regular financial aid from the government to settle the insurance premiums for indigent individuals identified by the Department of Social Welfare and Development.
Another recipient of government financial support was the Land Bank of the Philippines, which received P12.3 billion in the first quarter, or 27.16 percent of the total subsidy disbursements of the treasury bureau.
The subsidy given to Land Bank will be used to fund the lender’s credit facility for a program that will help drivers and operators replace all 15 years old and above public utility jeepneys (PUJs) with modern public transport.
Meanwhile, the National Irrigation Administration cornered 18.41 percent of the total subsidies at end-March, amounting to P8.34 billion.
The monetary aid given to NIA will be used to fund the government’s free irrigation program.
In January last year, President Rodrigo R. Duterte stopped the NIA, an agency responsible for irrigation development in the country, from collecting the Irrigation Service Fee (ISF) from farmers.
Aside from the three GOCCs, the government also gave subsidies to the National Food Authority with P1.8 billion, National Development Co. with P1.5 billion, Power Sector Assets & Liabilities Management Corp. with P1.48 billion and Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority with P1.45 billion.
The National Electrification Administration (P653 million), Social Housing Finance Corp. (P612 million), Small Business Corp. (P442 million), National Power Corp. (P224 million), and the Philippine Children Medical Center (P222 million) also received finance support from the Treasury.
Other GOCCs include the Philippine Heart Center (P232 million), Philippine Rice Research Institute (P185 million), National Kidney and Transplant Institute (P147 million and the Cultural Center of the Philippines (P105 million).
In the first quarter, the Treasury also gave subsidies to the Light Rail Transit Authority, National Housing Authority, Aurora Pacific Economic Zone and Freeport, Bases Conversion and Development Authority, and Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions.
Also included in the list were Lung Center of the Philippines, Philippine Coconut Authority, Philippine Fisheries Development Authority, Philippine Institute for Development Studies, and Philippine Institute of Traditional and Alternative Health Care.
Lastly, People’s Television Network, Inc., Southern Philippines Development Authority, and Zamboanga City Special Economic Zone Authority received subsidies from the national government in the first quarter of the year.
For 2018, the national government earmarked a record P162.55 billion in financial aid for GOCCs and government financial institutions (GFIs), up by 24 percent compared with the projected P131.09-billion disbursements last year.
Palawan to produce hybrid seeds
Louise Maureen Simeon (The Philippine Star) - May 21, 2018 - 12:00am
Public hybrid rice will soon be available for Palawan farmers following a recent intensive training attended by the province’s agricultural workers.
Andy G. Zapata Jr./File
MANILA, Philippines — The province of Palawan is gearing up for the production of hybrid rice seeds in a bid to improve output in the area.Public hybrid rice will soon be available for Palawan farmers following a recent intensive training attended by the province’s agricultural workers.
Rice program project officer Marlon Montero said hybrid rice seeds in Palawan are being sourced from regions particularly Davao.
“There is a risk in procuring the seeds away from Palawan knowing that this can negatively affect the germination rate. With our current efforts, we may no longer need to buy seeds from other regions in the coming years,” he added.
Palawan targets to expand up to 1000 hectares of public hybrid rice production in the next planting seasons.
It is now conducting training for 40 agricultural extension workers and project implementers on hybrid seed production focusing on field and crop establishment and seed technology.
The Department of Agriculture-Philippine Rice Research Institute said the training aims to ensure the high purity of seeds to be produced and that best management practices are adopted to achieve the highest potential yield of hybrid.
Public hybrid variety Mestizo 1 has an average yield of 5.4 metric tons per hectare up to 9.9 MT/ha and is highly recommended nationwide for its good eating quality and aroma.
Another variety Mestizo 20 can thrive in the most climatic types in the country and can yield from 6.4 MT/ha to 11.7 MT/ha.
The series of training is in support to the provincial government’s rice program, which provides hybrid seeds and farm inputs to about 400 farmer beneficiaries.
Refresher courses on seed quality assessment, seed certification, laboratory and field requirements and procedures were also discussed to seed inspectors.
 SW junior named finalist in International BioGENEius Challenge
Preeti Krishnamani takes on one of the world's most pressing food-security issues.
Preeti Krishnamani, a junior at Charter School of Wilmington, is one of only 15 finalists from the U.S., Canada and Germany selected for the International BioGENEius Challenge, recognizing outstanding research by high-school students in biotechnology. She will showcase her research at BIO 2018, which begins June 4, 2018.

Krishnamani’s project is titled “Effects of Silicon Amendments on the Concentration and Adsorption Properties of Iron-Oxides in Paddy Soils.” To put it simply, her research aims to reduce poisonous contamination of the world’s rice supply.

Or, in her words:

Arsenic contamination in rice plants threatens food security and human health worldwide. While scientists discovered that incorporating silicon in soil decreases arsenic uptake directly, the effects of silicon on iron-oxide minerals that control arsenic cycling in the soil−rice nexus have not been studied. My research investigates how different silicon-rich materials (amendments), specifically rice residues like rice husk and rice husk ash, impact the formation of iron-oxides and alter their arsenic adsorption properties.

“I feel honored to represent Delaware in the International BioGENEius Challenge,” said Krishnamani. “When I first learned about this issue after attending a seminar my mentor gave at UD last spring, I was shocked, yet compelled. As an Indian-American, rice is a very important part of my culture and lifestyle, so I knew I wanted to get involved in some way and become a part of the solution.”

Krishnamani’s involvement with STEM goes back to her early childhood. “My love and obsession for Legos is what got me excited about STEM,” she said. “Through elementary and middle school, I loved building and coding robots for FIRST Lego League (FLL) competitions. … I remember the first year I participated, the theme was ‘Food Factor’ (food contamination). This is what got me thinking actively about the issues that I am working to solve today.”

Her mentor, Dr. Angelia Seyfferth of the University of Delaware’s College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, provided Krishnamani the opportunity to join her lab. “It allowed me to delve into a problem to which I have a special connection, and work across scientific disciplines to create a positive, sustainable impact on society,” she said.

In addition to STEM, Krishnamani has an interest in business, both of which shape her plans for the future. “In my vision to bridge the gap between science and management, I see myself blending my passions for materials science and business in the future, to serve my community through meaningful innovation,” she said.

Crawfish on Capitol Hill, All the Way from Louisiana
By Lesley Dixon
WASHINGTON, DC -- Crawfish lovers gathered at the Capitol Hill Club last Wednesday night to savor authentic Louisiana cuisine at "Crawfish on Capitol Hill," an annual event that promotes Louisiana-style camaraderie and food culture in D.C.  The evening of Cajun food, music, and good company was sponsored by the Louisiana Rice Growers Association and USA Rice, and organized by Glen Johnston, managing partner of Presidio Strategic Partners, to honor Roger F. Villere, the longest-serving chairman of the Louisiana state Republican party.

The little red distinguished guests, feistily brandishing their claws, arrived on Capitol Hill after a two-day road trip from Abbeville, Louisiana, where the dinner's caterers Pro Boil are based. Allen and Erin McLain, the husband-and-wife team behind Pro Boil, have catered similar crawfish events in D.C. before, but this is the first year they've worked with "Crawfish on Capitol Hill."

Louisiana-grown rice featured prominently in the event's raffle prizes and party favors, as well as the lagniappe appetizer bar, which included gumbo, dirty rice, and red beans and rice. Lagniappe is a creole word that means "extra," as in a gift or a bonus.  "Whatever you've got around, throw it in," said Allen, who is a recent graduate of the USA Rice Leadership Development Program.

What they had around was plump potatoes, tender corn on the cob, savory sausage, and some of the biggest crawfish this town has ever seen, hand-delivered from Louisiana.

Southerners and Louisianans in D.C. look forward to these kinds of crawfish boils, as they are the only place in town to get good, fresh, authentic Cajun food.  "At home we can just dump everything out straight onto a table," said Allen, but at the Capitol Hill Club, etiquette required the freshly boiled crawfish to be served neatly on trays.

That didn't slow down the guests, though - politicians, restaurateurs, and LSU football fans donned bibs and got cracking.

"This event is a great showcase for U.S. rice," said Betsy Ward, president and CEO of USA Rice, who attended the dinner alongside other USA Rice staff.  "It's wonderful to see so many people from Louisiana connecting in D.C. over shared culinary history, and rice is an integral part of that cuisine."

"When thinking of serving the most authentic red beans and rice possible, I knew that I'd have to have Louisiana-grown rice," Johnston concurred.  "I'm originally from Louisiana but now live in the Washington, D.C. area.  Even at home, I get Louisiana rice shipped to me.  There is a specific taste and quality to it, and it matches the coffee and chicory in my kitchen cabinets."

Other attendees of the crawfish boil included Congressman Clay Higgins (R-LA), and celebrity chef David Guas, host of the television show American Grilled and the owner of Bayou Bakery, a New Orleans-inspired restaurant in Arlington, Virginia.
